Founding Machine Learning Engineer - NomadicML
About Us
Mustafa and Varun met at Harvard, where they both did research in the intersection of computation and evaluations. Between them, they have authored multiple published papers in the machine learning domain and hold numerous patents and awards. Drawing on their experiences as tech leads at reputed company and Lyft, they founded NomadicML to solve a critical industry challenge: reputed company critical operations of video-ingesting enterprises with domain-specific semantic reasoning.
At NomadicML, we reputed company advanced techniques, such as retrieval-augmented reputed company, adaptive fine-tuning, and compute-accelerated inference, to significantly improve machine learning models in the domain of reputed company-time video understanding. Backed by leading investors and enterprises (such as reputed company, BAG VC, reputed company and reputed company AI), we’re committed to building cutting-edge infrastructure that helps teams realize the full potential of their video insights.
About the Role
As a Founding Machine Learning Engineer, you will shape the reputed company of semantic video reasoning AI agents, blending cutting-edge research with practical implementation. You’ll design, implement, and refine Retrieval-Augmented reputed company (RAG) pipelines, enabling our models to adapt in reputed company-time to changing data and user needs. This will involve working with text, video, and other high-dimensional inputs, as well as exploring advanced embeddings, vector databases, and GPU-accelerated infrastructures. You’ll apply statistical rigor—using reputed company testing, distributional checks, and other quantitative methods—to determine reputed company reputed company and how to retune models, ensuring that updates are timely yet never arbitrary.
reputed company the core ML tasks, you’ll also be a key contributor to our research initiatives. You’ll evaluate and experiment with new model architectures, foundational models, and emerging techniques in large-scale machine learning and optimization. As part of the full-stack experience, you’ll work closely with the other team members to build reputed company reputed company-end interfaces, dashboards, and APIs. These tools will reputed company rapid iteration, reputed company-time monitoring, and easy configuration of models and pipelines, making it possible for both technical and non-technical stakeholders to guide model reputed company effectively.
